The Warsaw Chamber of Commerce, organized in 1952, consisted of "32 firms and 20 individuals." Elected officers were "H Marston Smith, president; Dr. J.T. Clanton, Sr., vice-president; Mrs. Mazie C. Sanders, secretary, and Lewis A. Hinson, treasurer." 

​

Among the many events they sponsored were the "Outdoor Christmas Lighting Contest"; "Clean-up Week" to "make the town more presentable"; the Warsaw Christmas Parage which provided "free Christmas entertainment in Warsaw", and "Warsaw Days" a "gala two-day event" which was the "biggest promotion ever attempted in town". In addition to the events, the Chamber of Commerce was also responsible for the "Welcome to Warsaw signs and the "Welcome Wagon".

​

The Warsaw Welcome Wagon brought new residents "greetings and a warm welcome." Pictured are Chamber members Irving Beauchamp (left) and Annie Bruce Robertson (second from the left). The "wagon" was a 1930 Model A Ford driven by Mel Aycock.
